In normal times Manchester United fans would be streaming east over the Pennines for this one. Instead there will be no scarves flapping from the windows of countless cars traversing the M62, no good-humoured queues at Hartshead Moor services and no intense hostility between home and away supporters at Elland Road. If ever a fixture highlighted what football has lost since necessarily being moved behind closed doors it is this one. “A classic game,” as Marcelo Bielsa put it. The Leeds manager will be keen to atone for his side’s 6-2 reverse at Old Trafford earlier in the season but must cope without the injured Raphinha and Rodrigo and the suspended Liam Cooper. Edinson Cavani will doubtless fancy his chances of scoring a goal or two for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side. Louise Taylor
